I put all of my snipes in at a lead time of 1 second. In the beginning of my sniping, it worked great. The snipes were actually coming in at the last second and I was winning the auctions. Now, all of a sudden, the snipes are firing too early -- usually by 11-13 seconds. I'm now losing some of my auctions because it leaves a lead time for someone to outsnipe me. Why has this changed? Yes, I do put in the full amount that I'm willing to pay, but I will lose a snipe by .10 to .20 cents. That's very aggravating! And, no, someone isn't outbidding me on these. They are outsniping me. It even says "bid at the last second". If we can't bid at the last second, shouldn't that wording be changed to "bid in the last 10 seconds"?
